Synopsis

Once in a lifetime, a writer puts it all together. This is James Patterson's best book ever.

Total

For 36 years, James Patterson has written unputdownable, pulse-racing novels. Now, he has written a book that surpasses all of them. ZOO is the thriller he was born to write.

World

All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities. Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush in Africa, the enormity of the violence to come becomes terrifyingly clear.

Destruction

With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world leaders before it's too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity, cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans to hide. With wildly inventive imagination and white-knuckle suspense that rivals Stephen King at his very best, James Patterson's ZOO is an epic, non-stop thrill-ride from "One of the best of the best."

I absolutely loved this book! I have been watching the TV series named after this book, and although they share the title, the stories have some following of the book. There are many details that are different and I found those differences made the book much more interesting. James & Michael make the personalities a lot more depth and substance. You feel their every emotion and pain. As well his description of the animals thoughts gives you a much more real time understanding of what's happening to them. They also give the reader a feeling of being there and the hope that it truly never actually happens. Congratulations to Mr. Patterson and Mr. Ledwidge on a novel so well done!!!

Started out strong then became predictable. My mistake may has been was to read it the same time the series started.

Remarkable I can't believe how this book ends, You must read this book, It speaks so loudly of human nature, that I couldn't imagine anyone not touched by the depth of emotion that this book conveys, you will likely find it unforgettable

This book did not diapoint - it was engaging and fun to read, different from typical thrillers. Not at all like the TV show that just started, so I am glad I read it!

Abrupt ending leaves me as cold his new home in Greenland. Chapters are so short, I sometimes wonder about the lead in to the next.

Great read!

I really enjoyed this book! Well-written, suspenseful, and thought-provoking. Humans have survived on wit and cunning rather than tooth and claw. But we are soft, defenseless prey against highly evolved predators that now roam the streets. I can't wait to see how the TV show reflects the story on screen!

Can't wait to see the television version. Should be interesting to see if same as book. The book was a fast read because it kept the reader interested in what was going to happen next.

Disappointed

May 23rd, 2015

I enjoyed this book somewhat. I was a little surprised by the ending it is unresolved which left me with a sense of disappointment in the whole story . It did seem a little preachy in the end hitting home the message of our impeding doom because we use electricity.

Good Read

Not a book for everyone but it is a break from the normal routine. Doesn't take forever to read so that makes it a perfect downtime for a hectic life.
The storyline draws you in and holds you to it.

Zoo james patterson

May 2nd, 2015

Awesome book but ending sucked. Felt like he forgot to add a ending chapter at all. I didnt even realize it was over i actually went back to content and reread everything but ends kinda mid sentence or mid thought. Besides that a really good book and very thought provoking.

Huge gaps, up and down predictable story line, pass on this one. Maybe if it was longer or tried to cover a smaller version it would have worked.

ZOO

May 24th, 2014

Cool start, really got me going,,, but just freezes in the middle when Ozzie get back in the US... lost completely momentum,.. is it there that Peterson passed the pen to the other writer, to finish it up??... disappointing.
